Insole app tracks body movements, curbs sedentary time

Researchers at Colorado-based startup SmartMove developed a USB rechargeable insole designed to cut sedentary time by tracking a person's movements. The insole features two sensors that determine whether a person is sitting, standing, walking, running, climbing stairs or cycling, and transmit the data to an iPhone to check the time spent on sedentary activities versus time spent on being active. The app will send users a text message if they have been sedentary for too long.
